Season 1 - great; Season 2 - weak

Basically, the title says it all. After an excellent first season, the second one is a huge disappointment.

My advice? Watch season 1, omit season 2. You won't loose anything meaningful or worthwhile.

Season 1 is great because of its focus on personal tragedy and personal stakes, plus small city that looks nice on the surface but when you dig deeper cracks start to show.

Absolutely phenomenal

A truly outstanding series. Just when you think you know where it's heading there comes another twist. Brilliantly paced with believable characters that you come to really care about. One of my favourite shows in a long time.

Season 1 is unique. Meaning of Belfer?

I loved the first season - it is unique and so small town Central European. I like the contamination thread and and the so awaited Swedish investor thread... The second season is more stereotypical, and unnecessarily complicated. Even in that I like the teacher reffering to some Polish and foreign cultural greats during classes. Any Polish fans, please, what does the title, Belfer mean?

Just to clarify:

A word BELFER in Polish is a disrespectful slang name for a teacher.

Season 1 was great. Season 2 was overly complicated

It's almost like network execs got involved with season 2, because there were so many twists and turns and characters and macguffins, it was hard to follow. Plus in season 1 Pawel is a bad ass who can take on several assailants at once, and in season 2 he gets taken out but a high school kid. Pawel was also smarter in season 1, and here he just seems to screw up. I also didn't like how they wrapped it up. It was overly complicated and confusing. But season 1 was definitely great.
